Revolutionize the Way You Work
The First Pocket Ultrasound System
The ACUSON P10™ ultrasound system
is the first pocket ultrasound imaging
device providing physicians and clinical
personnel with earlier, faster and more
accurate clinical assessment at the
point of care. The ACUSON P10
system revolutionizes existing assess-
ment and examination protocols via
the extension of the physical exam in
cardiology, emergency medicine care
and obstetrics.
The ACUSON P10 system is the ideal
solution when it comes to supporting
triage decisions, bedside monitoring,
and traditional diagnosis, by providing
additional information during the
clinical assessment. With its instant
power-up capabilities, exceptional
image quality and a simplified user
interface, the ACUSON P10 system
is available immediately — anytime,
anywhere you need it — helping
you to make more informed, more
confident decisions.
In cardiology, the ACUSON P10 enables
you to visualize basic anatomy, function,
and effusion as part of an initial patient
assessment, routine follow-up, or in
pre/post procedure care in the ICU/CCU.
In emergency medicine, the ACUSON
P10 system eliminates the usual delays
in assessing free fluid, cardiac activity,
and AAA, as well as enabling ultrasound
guidance for para/thora-centesis.
In obstetrics, the ACUSON P10 system
gives physicians and midwives a quick
and comprehensive overview on fetal
positioning, anatomy, heart beat, fluid
levels and placenta location during labor
or routine office visits.
